Without Merit by Colleen Hoover
Holy scandal and family secrets. This novel is so interesting. A girl decides to unleash her family's secrets (kind of accidentally, though) and the book covers the wrath of her irresponsible actions. I like books with scandals so this was right up there on the top of my list!
That's it for this month! What did you read?
